RMN'S (NEW) FAVOURITE RM GAMES OF ALL TIME THREAD (2016 EDITION)

Posts

What Is This?List your Top 10 Favorite RPG Maker games and I will aggregate the scores and add them to this list.

In 2014, I created a topic called THE TOP RM GAMES OF ALL TIME. This went successfully, but after a while I realized that a lot of newer games were being neglected from the list, because many had already placed their chips in as to which they liked, before new ones came along. In short, the aim was to collate a list of the greatest RPG Maker games of all-time... but everyone has different opinions. The question has been asked before, but I want to be able to create a shared list aggregated by everyone's collected views. Plus, there have been many excellent games released since that thread was active, so I have decided to create a new one to attempt to fill that gap.

How it works

You are to post your Top 10 RPG Maker Games (in your opinion) as a comment in this thread, or as many as you can think of.

They must be in order of greatness, otherwise I will just assume you listed them in order of greatness.

Games on your list must be made using any engine made by Enterbrain. The list does not include games made in Wolf Editor, Unity, Game Maker, or other engines made by third parties just because the list might grow very broad, very quickly.

Free and commercial games are both allowed.

Episodic games will be judged on a case-by-case basis whether they should be grouped together or not. It will usually be judged by factors such as the length of each episode, and how they are packaged as a whole.

Votes for your own game won't be counted lol

When users post their top 10 lists, I will use their lists and edit this top post to include the globalized list of all the most highly ranked games. The games will be ranked according to a simple scoring system, which I will explain below.

Scoring systemEach Top 10 list posted in this thread contains 10 entries, which are in order from #1 (the best in the list), to #10 (the worst in the list). The points awarded to the game for the ranking in each persons' list are as follows:

1st place -- 10 points

2nd place -- 9pts

3rd place -- 8pts

...

10th place -- 1pts

These points will be added to each respective game's total, and the globalized Top RM Games of All Time List will be sorted in order of points the games have earned, from highest to lowest.

*I didn't create these games. I only translated them, and I certainly feel they are great games. No bias here :)

P.S. I may most likely put in Ara Fell to replace one of the Top 10 games once I get to play through it (I enjoyed the original, but since the current version is very different from the original, I can't possibly put it in the Top 10 until I've finished playing it).

I tried to think of all the RM games I like and could only think of just 10. It's a bit weird of a list because I haven't played many of the old legendary titles (i.e. ABL or Hero's Realm), but if I can change the list later anyway then what the hell!

1. To the Moon
2. Beautiful Escape: Dungeoneer
3. Free Spirits
4. Oh! Ko!
5. cat game
6. Oneshot
7. Think Outside the Box
8. The Age of Deliverance
9. The God of Crawling Eyes
10. The Book of True Will

*: I'm very hesitant to put an incomplete game on this list, but literally everything I've seen from it has me hyped, and the demo was very solid. That's why it's at the bottom of the list as a sort of compromise.

I haven't plaid enough RM games to be anywhere close to have a right to throw my list in here. I would probably include lot of Ocean's and Kenton's games alongside with Sunken Spire and Free Spirits (and something from Calunio fer sure).It would be interesting to make an additional thread for commercial RM games only.

Those top 3 are pretty damn good. Legend of Shenja was a game I played when I was like 14-15 back in the good ol' days when I posted on Gamefaqs a lot and Sky Render pretty much mentored me. I learned a LOT from him and that game as well. Fond memories of it. Super surprised he had the patience to deal with the obnoxious asshole that the 14-15 year old version of me was.

Super honorable mentions of demos I played and thoroughly enjoyed:
Weird and Unfortunate Things are Happening
Prayer of the Faithless

Games that I have yet to beat but are definitely great experiences so far:
Ara Fell
Soul Sunder
Luxaren Allure

Added all the new lists. Got some really cool new entries representing the new generation - Luxaren Allure, Remnants of Isolation, Oneshot, Brave Hero Yuusha, Last Minute Gift, Corinne Cross's Dead & Breakfast, Free Spirits, and Weird and Unfortunate Things are Happening, just to name those with a score >10. I love the diverse range of new classics that's turning up. It's quite nice, indeed.

edit: Had to add Irog's list, which turned up while I was editing the list and posting this. Now it's up to date.
